...there are no duplicate votes. This process can also be used to catch votes by people not in the voting class and should eliminate any votes by the class of 2008. The missent e-mail is, according to Monti, “not even really a blip on our radar.” Despite this mishap, the Marshal elections are running smoothly. Sixty-one students are competing for 16 spots in the first round of elections, which closes tomorrow at midnight. The top 16 then enter the second round of elections, which will ultimately yield eight Class Marshals, who will...

We live in a nation of laws. This much is understood, and none among us would argue the fact. Still, only...
McCain may actually have helped by choosing a running mate from way off the radar: Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a woman younger than Obama, elected just two years ago. Whether the choice turns out to be inspired or mistaken, it is sure to generate a lot of discussion about McCain's judgment, and the unpopularity of better-known Republicans and fissures in the GOP that turned the veep decision into a minefield for McCain. That fits Obama's strategy perfectly. He wants folks pondering them...
